Gilbert and Sullivan show canceled

I’m sorry to report that “The Mikado,” which was scheduled tonight and Friday at Peoria High School, has been canceled.

Although Peoria School District 150 officially had no comment on why the show was canceled, the reason was an alleged altercation at the school, according to a police report. Go here to learn more.

Stacey Shangraw, District 150’s official spokesperson, said that patrons who already bought tickets would be reimbursed.

Those with questions should call Peoria High School at 672-6630.

Annual dinner theater productions of Gilbert and Sullivan were a mainstay at Woodruff High School for many years. After the closing of Woodruff, everyone wondered whether the tradition would be carried on at Peoria High.

Apparently not. At least, not for this year. No one has discussed what — if anything — will happen next year, Shangraw said.
